Traceroute and policy based routing

Hello group,
 
One quite tricky question.
 
In the IEWB Lab 18 Q12.1 there is an example on how we should configure a router to response with its Loopback address when any other router issue a traceroute to it.
 
What if we want to do something slightly different.
What I want is to traceroute from R1 to R5.
R2 has 2 possible ways to reach R5. These are R3 and R4. See the diagram below:
 
R1 ------- R2 ------------------R3-----------------
              | |
              | |
              | |
             R4--------------------------------------R5
 
I want this traceroute to go through R4 and not through R3.
 
My configuration is the following:
 
R2:
 
ip local policy route-map test
!
route-map test permit 10
match ip address 100
set ip next-hop <R4-address connected to R2>
!
access-list 100 permit icmp any any time-exceeded
access-list 100 permit icmp any any port-unreachable
 
Local policy routing is configured because traceroute is locally generated by the router each time.
 
However, I can not get this to work.
 
Any ideas ?
 
TIA
 
Varthis
